Rest sensor value_template conditional

Third party integrations
1

Hi,
I’m new to HA, but I want to create an integration for my solar inverter that exposes some raw data.
With the following configuration I can read the voltage, but I have problems with the “PowerGrid” value because it is returned as unknown.
If its value is greater than zero, it means that the energy is consumed, while if it is less than zero, the energy is sold.

rest:
  - resource: "http://192.168.x.y/raw_data"
    verify_ssl: false
    method: GET
    scan_interval: 5
    sensor:
      - name: "Voltage"
        unique_id: "voltage"
        device_class: voltage
        state_class: measurement
        value_template: "{{ value | regex_findall_index('VL1=(\\d+.\\d+)') | float }}"
        unit_of_measurement: V

      - name: "Grid power"
        unique_id: "grid_power"
        device_class: energy
        state_class: total
        value_template: >-
          {% set grid_power = regex_findall_index('PowerGrid=(\\d+.\\d+)') | float(0) %}
          {% if grid_power > 0 %} 
            "{{ value | grid_power | float(0) }}"
          {% else %} 
            0
          {% endif %}
        unit_of_measurement: kWh

      - name: "Grid power sold"
        unique_id: "grid_power_sold"
        device_class: energy
        state_class: total
        value_template:  >-
          {% set grid_power_sold = regex_findall_index('PowerGrid=(\\d+.\\d+)') | float(0) %}
          {% if grid_power_sold < 0 %} 
            "{{ value | grid_power_sold | float(0) }}"
          {% else %} 
            0
          {% endif %}
        unit_of_measurement: kWh

Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong or where to find documentation to solve this case?
thanks

Remove the double-quotes from that template.

I had already tried but it doesn’t change anything, but I found my error, :sweat_smile: it shoud be:


          {% set grid_power = (value | regex_findall_index('PowerGrid=(\\d+.\\d+)') | float(0)) %}
          {% if grid_power > 0 %} 
            {{ grid_power | float(0) }}
          {% else %} 
            0
          {% endif %}

thanks
